Yacht Description
Five queens, simple. MOTEK is a 56-foot Bali Catamarans sailing catamaran built in 2023, set up to sleep 10 guests in five cabins, all with queen beds and en-suite bathrooms.
Easy water access. The swim platform and outdoor shower make the jump between sea time and dry time quick. No ceremony.
Toys for busy days. You have paddleboards, kayaks, floating mats, a kneeboard, and kids’ water skis, plus beach games for low-effort afternoons. Snorkeling gear is onboard, along with an underwater still camera, underwater video, and underwater scooters for getting more out of the same reef.
Comfort basics covered. Full air conditioning, Wi-Fi, an indoor audio system, and a TV saloon handle the downtime, with a water maker and ice maker keeping the cold drinks and showers on the right side of morale.

Thank you for such an amazing experience on Motek. We felt so lucky to have such an easy-going, experienced captain. Thanks for teaching us how to sail too!

5 Stars!
Captain Francisco was fantastic. He had great energy and enthusiasm and worked with us to nail down
the perfect itinerary - adjusting as necessary to wind conditions, etc. He was actually very knowledgeable and open to figuring out new spots. He was excellent.
The meals were absolutely outstanding. Literally every meal was perfect and Chef Romaine really
responded to the preference sheet and our input into the menu - which was greatly appreciated. All of us on board felt like Chef Romaine was one of, if not the, best chefs we've had in all of our trips.

We couldn't be more happy!
I had never done before a trip with a yacht before, but it exceded my expectations! Great crew, we felt safe and they took great care of us! Chef Romain made this trip a culinary experience too, he was ready to adapt to our likings and he offered to us a variety of high quality plates!
We couldn't be more happy!
"We had an amazing time on the with Francisco! He was an incredible host, making us feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire day. We snorkeled, swam, and sunbathed at the beautiful Cap Blanc anchorage, and Francisco even prepared delicious Spanish snacks and drinks for us to enjoy. It was a perfect day! We highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a memorable experience in Majorca Bay.” - Sam and Anna.

amazing food!
“I had an amazing time on our charter in Mallorca! We traveled from Palma towards Port Pollensa,
stopping in Port Andratx, Deià, Sóller, Cala Calobra, and many other beautiful places. The scenery
was breathtaking, the food was delicious, and we had so much fun snorkeling, swimming, and just
relaxing. Francisco was a great captain who made us feel safe at all times. I would highly
recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing charter experience “
This trip was a unique experience! Magical places ,excellent service and amazing food! The meals reflected the freshest ingredients, and they were beautifully presented and full of flavor. The chef took the time to get to know our dietary preferences and created an unforgettable culinary journey.

Highly recommended!
We had the pleasure of having a private chef Romain onboard for our yacht charter, and it was nothing short of incredible! From the fresh seafood to the perfectly cooked steaks, every meal was a masterpiece. The chef tailored the menu to our preferences and even offered unique, locally-inspired dishes. The level of service was impeccable. Highly recommended!

Best Week Imaginable
Marlon and Angella treated us to the best week on Motek imaginable. Marlon always found the best balls, a great place to drop anchor (Marina Cay) and has local's knowledge and connections enabling him to avoid crowds or bad/choppy waters. The sailing was amazing! Angella is an incredible chef - each meal was amongst the best we'd ever have and both beautiful and delicious. Breakfast all included her fluffy and perfect scrambled eggs - so simple but still so amazing (how is it possible?) Lunches were light but delicious (poke bowls and pesto/burrata pitas topped the list) and dinners... such fantastic flavors in her thai cunystas, and her take on scampi was other worldly! This trip will be for for fantastic memories to last a lifetime. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts. The Browns
